Event

This document defines the Event resource.

Event resources represent an event that a user may attend by submitting their RSVP information. Events have fields to describe them such as names, titles, summaries, descriptions, dates, times, and locations, and when people RSVP to attend an event, Attendance resources are created representing the individual RSVP made by an activist made for that event. Events can be one of two types, open or ticketed. Ticketed events typically charge money for tickets when a person RSVPs, while open events do not.

Sections

Endpoints and URL structures

OSDI does not specify specific endpoints and link structures for compliant systems to use. Rather, because OSDI is a HAL+JSON API, endpoints and structures are defined in the links section of each returned resource, starting with the API Entry Point link.

HAL’s link structure lets an API consumer move through API levels, resources, and collections by parsing and following links. While most systems will not change the value of their links often and obey RESTful design principles, the value of each link when that resource is retrieved is the only canonical value, and it can change at any time.

The link relation label for an Event resource is osdi:event for a single Event resource or osdi:events for a collection of Event resources.

Fields

The field names for this resource, with standard names, punctuation and capitalization, and values where appropriate.

Note: As with the entire OSDI specification, the specific fields a compliant system implements will vary between each system, as will the fields each system requires when creating or updating resources, which fields are writeable, and the operations you are allowed to perform on each resource.

Common Fields

A set of common fields that appear on all resources is included first, for reference.

Name Type Description
identifiers strings[] A unique string array of identifiers in the format [system name]:[id]. See the general concepts document for more information about identifiers.

modified_date datetime A read-only property representing the date and time the resource was last modified on the local system.

Control Headers

An “osdi:control” JSON object may contain common OSDI control headers which can be used on an OSDI POST, PUT, PATCH, Helper or other function calls to modify server behavior. Read More

return_response boolean Defaults to true, if specified as false, the operation does not need to return the resource representation in the response

Scenario: Creating a new event (POST)

Posting to the event collection endpoint will allow you to create a new event. Optionally adding links to a Person resource will set the organizer or creator. The response is the new event that was created. While each implementing system will require different fields, any optional fields not included in a post operation should not be set at all by the receiving system, or should be set to default values.

Scenario: Modifying an event (PUT)

You can update an event by calling a PUT operation on that event’s endpoint. Your PUT should contain fields that you want to update. Missing fields will be ignored by the receiving system. Systems may also ignore PUT values, depending on whether fields you are trying to modify are read-only or not. You may set an attribute to nil by including the attribute using nil for value.

Note: Modifying members of an array separately is not supported. To change the contents of an array, first GET the current contents and then PUT back only those you wish to keep.
